Past

So, you want a fresh start but don’t think you deserve one? You feel unworthy to be a follower of Jesus. You wonder why he would want you on his team. You are ashamed of your past. You have a history of messes. You feel the heavy weight of guilt for the hurt you have caused. Well, let me introduce you to the apostle Paul and offer you a fresh start.

Worry is not a personality trait; it is a spiritual problem.

God graciously desires to bring restoration.

God forgives us completely. We need to forgive others...and ourselves.

Don’t ask God to change his answer; ask him to change your heart.

Caught in the grip of sin, we were helpless and hopeless. There was no way out. But then the Rescuer came.

God tells his people that because of who he is and what he has done, they can “walk with their heads held high.” And so can we!

We never have to be held back by past mistakes. God forgives and uses our failures to prepare us for the journey ahead.
